Nations that miss 2 editions in a row will be removed and replaced with the nation at the top of the Waiting List (see below).

Voting in each final of NSC as part of the waiting list jury is compulsory.

Any waiting list nations who fail to vote will be moved 2 places down on the list.

Nations who fail to vote 2 finals in a row will be removed from the list.

Under certain circumstances waiting list nations can take a break from voting in the finals if a solid reason is given. During that period of time the position of the nation on the waiting list remains frozen and it can move neither up nor down.

Nations with 'NSC XXX' beside them will debut/return in the next contest.

Nations with 'NSC XXX?' beside them can send a reserve entry to the next contest.

​

First of all, welcome to NSC! If you have any questions regarding the contest, feel free to post them in this thread or ask one of the mods: @Stargazer, @berlyda or @Veronika.

In order to get familiar with the contest, please take a look at the RULES!

If you want to apply for a place in NSC (or if you want to return), simply send a PM to Stargazer - you'll be added to the waiting list (see above).

Please note that you are probably going to be waiting for a long time as there is a strong demand for spots on the roster. In the meantime, you may enter the Waiting List contest, vote in the semi-finals of NSC and take part in the various spin-off contests if you wish to. Don't forget that voting in the finals is compulsory.

Well I make the icons a lot larger than what they will appear as on the forum (so they will also look good on your phone), so a screen shot wouldn't necessarily tell you how the icon will look on the forum. But they will be in the same style as the new regular country flags, a modern "flat" look with rounded edges. Like these:

I would personally have loved to be able to keep the old design as I don't like modern sleek aesthetics, but these things are not up to me.

@Stargazer you are definitely the best choice in the (super) moderation team ever. Your work is awesome and you do every little thing with such a perfection and dedication that one can only surrender to and admire it. Congratulations (and thank you) on being so competent!

Aw Luís, thank you so much. I try my best. But it's not only me, it's a team effort from everyone involved. And I can't take any credit for all the coding/behind-the-scenes stuff that the admins are doing.

I agree it's not only you, of course, and many people are involved. But I was referring to the fact that you are always ready to explain, always available, when I know you are so busy in many other fields that it is really something that had to be mentioned. You do many things with such a detail and perfection that I know you were a perfect choice. .
Other than this, it's obviously a great moderation team.

The roster has been updated. So sad to say goodbye to both Papendink and Sjómaður , but that means we not only get to welcome Redwood Republic as already mentioned before, but we get to welcome back Adamsburg after 86 whole editions! I had only been on the WL a couple of editions when he left the contest. Time flies!

The flag icon has been made and sent to those with the power to upload it.

Ooh, looks like I missed a lot. I was unable to login on the old forum (as soon as I logged in, I got some error messages; on every browser even after emptying cache; I even tried creating a new account but had the same problem) and got annoyed with that so I didn't check here for a few weeks since I didn't expect the forum upgrade to happen so soon.

So looks like I could have already re-debuted. Sorry if I caused any chaos in the WL order because of this but since I can log in again I can start voting again.

Due to having to recharge my batteries as I'm losing interest due to real-life things going on, Riya-Sampetrina will be taking a break for one edition (or two, depending on the situation). See you in NSC 180!

How do you want me to talk like an Englishman?
Where do you want me to dress like an Italian? Now do you want me to dance like a Spanish guy?
So tell me why do you want me to smell like a French homme?
Oh, tell me why do you want me to play like a German? ​
